Abstract

Michael Field, long-time economic correspondent in the Middle East, offers another volume to an interesting body of literature that attempts to explain the failures of the contemporary Arab world. Among the more prominent works in this area are David Pryce-Jones's The Closed Circle: An Interpretation of the Arabs (1989), Halim Barakat's The Arab World: Society, Culture, and State (1993), Milton Viorst's Sandcastles: The Arabs in Search of the Modern World (1994), Paul Salem's Bitter Legacy: Ideology and Politics in the Arab World (1994), and Nazith N. Ayubui's Over-Stating the Arab State: Politics and Society in the Middle East (1995). Field's readable, insightful book, based on his many years in the region and on extensive interviews, is a balanced, useful addition.
